Mies Lake Shore Drive Bachelor Pad by Hudson Home

Since moving to Chicago nearly a decade ago, we've had a soft spot for the Mies residential buildings. In fact, we even flirted with the idea of purchasing an available apartment in one of them when we were new to the city (until we found out that the building didn't allow dogs at the time). So, it was with great...

...pleasure that we got to take a peek inside one of the apartments through the photos of a recent renovation by Hudson Home. A full re-do of a Mies van der Rohe co-op is no small project and Hudson Home was the architect, builder and designer of this renovation which is described by the firm as a "bachelor pad".

We like the generally minimalist vibe, the slightly rounded geometric shapes, the reflective quality of the metallics and glass used, the simplicity of forms and the quiet colors used throughout - especially when combined with the just-right "pop" of color in the bedroom.
